Hampers

Friday December 20, 2013

The Quebec City Community Christmas Hamper Campaign is drawing to a close. Each year, one of the highly anticipated moments of the fundraiser is the unveiling of the Turkey Can Drive winners. This year, Ms. Norma Sommerville's grade 5 class at St. Vincent Elementary raised the most money, contributing to the school's grand total of $2,050. Their proud teacher told us why this means so much to her.

Our host Susan Campbell, alongside Breakaway's host Jacquie Czernin, broadcasted live from their classroom to find out more about why giving feels good, especially during the holiday season.

83-year-old Kay Bergeron has been helping out with the Quebec City Community Christmas Hamper Campaign since the very beginning. The CBC's Ainslie MacLellan joins Susan in studio with more on what motivates Bergeron to keep volunteering.

Teams of drivers and helpers with strong backs needed to deliver Hampers from the main center CEGEP St. Lawrence to homes of families in need. Organizers need 30 drivers, so if you have a car, it's an asset! But volunteers without cars are also needed as helpers. Morning coffee, map and instructions are provided.

Shifts:

8:30 a.m

9:00 a.m

9:30 a.m

If you can help out at any of these times, contact volunteer coordinator Amy Bilodeau at (418) 684-5333 ext. 1550, amy.bilodeau@ssss.gouv.qc.ca.
